Inventor: HARRIS ROBERT MICHAEL
IPC: H03J5/24
Filed: 2002-02-11
Abstract: A method of intermediate frequency (i.f.) planning for radio transmitters and receivers involves
predicting which i.f. or i.f range will result in spurious emissions to or response from one or
more "avoidance bands" being sources of unwanted signals or frequency bands closed to
transmission, whereby to choose an i.f. or i.f. band which minimises such i.f. bands. The method
may be carried out by computer software which may be embedded in a transmitter/receiver
having means for varying its i.f.

Abstract: A supervisory communications device, such as a headend device within a cable communications network, monitors and controls communications with a plurality of remote communications devices, such as cable modems, throughout a widely distributed network. The supervisory device allocates bandwidth on the upstream channels by sending MAP messages over its downstream channel. A master-slave interface permits a second supervisory device to be connected to increase the number of available upstream channels. When one device operates as the slave device to the other, the slave device is programmable to select MAP messages from either of the master device or the slave device. A primary filter and a slave filter are provided to specify which downstream channel(s) has the authority to issue MAP messages for each available upstream channel. The filters utilizes registers to authenticate the source of the MAP messages. If properly authenticated, the MAP messages are forwarded to a parse processor to format the MAP messages, and send the MAP messages to a MAP FIFO to associate the upstream channel(s) with the appropriate source downstream channel. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for coding and/or encoding a
bit stream comprising a representation of a sequence of n-dimensional data
structures or matrices, in which n is typically 2. A part of the data of one data
structure of the sequence can be mappable within predefined similarity critreria to a
part of the data of a another data structure of the sequence. The similarity criteria
may include, for instance, a spatial or temporal shift of the data within an image of a
video signal such as is used in motion estimation and/or compensation of moving
pictures, e.g. video images as well as coders and encoders for coding such a
bitstream, e.g. a video signal for use in motion compensation and/or estimation. The
data structures are typically video frames and a part of the data structure may be a
block of data within a frame. The shift may be any suitable shift such as a linear
translation at any suitable angle, a rotation of the data or change of size such as
zooming between a part of the data in one data structure and a part of the data in
another data structure of the sequence. The data structures are typically sequential
frames of a video information stream. 
     Digital filtering methods and apparatus are provided for application to a
reference or other frame of data to generate one or more subbands of a set of
subbands of an overcomplete representation of the frame by calculations at single
rate. These filters may be implemented as a separate filter module or may be
implemented as software running on a microprocessor, for example.

Abstract: The axial lines 241 and 242 of right and left internal shafts 195 and 205 are both intersected with a straight line 237 as a rocking axis, and the resulting intersection points 246 and 247 are placed at each different position. 
     Through coupling between the right and left internal shafts and rear wheels each via a drive shaft, the drive shafts do not displace that much even if the vehicle body frame rocks in the lateral direction. Further, for example, if the right and left internal shafts are placed away from each other in the front and rear of the vehicle body, the drive shaft can be placed extensively in the diagonal direction from the right and left internal shafts to the rear wheel side. As such, compared with a case where the right and left internal shafts are provided on the side part of the gearbox, the total length of the drive shaft can be increased in the present invention. In consideration thereof, the bending angle of the drive shaft can be suppressed small when the driving wheels move in the vertical direction, and what is better, the tread of the rear wheels can be reduced because the drive shaft is placed extensively in the diagonal direction even if it is long in total length.

Abstract: A main terminal and a method of operating the same. In this method of operating the main terminal, the main terminal is connected to a telephone network so as to communicate with the telephone network, and selectively connects an external terminal to the telephone network. To perform the method, first, if it is requested that the telephone network be disconnected from the external terminal and instead be connected to the main terminal, an internal current to flow into the main terminal is obtained from a loop voltage generated when the external terminal is in connection with the telephone network. Next, the internal current is applied to the main terminal. Thereafter, the telephone network is disconnected from the external terminal and instead connected to the main terminal. While the internal current is flowing in the main terminal, the main terminal maintains the loop voltage generated when the external terminal is in connection with the telephone network. Accordingly, the telephone network can be disconnected from an external terminal and instead be connected to the main terminal without generating an interrupt. Thus, an exchanger included in the telephone network can be prevented from malfunctioning due to the generation of the interrupt.
